At dawn, William was woken up by Marcus’ call.
"Mr.Howard, Ronald confessed to everything.Julie and Paxton were the murderers who killed Natalie.The police are now asking Miss Brown to go over.What should we do..."
William suddenly sat up.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure.Please explain it to Miss Brown beforehand.I'm afraid that she won't be able to take it."
He remained silent.
Beside him, Valeria muttered to him in confusion , William, who is calling? Did they mention my mom and dad?"
"Um...Valeria, something happened.You should get up first.We need to go to the police station."
Her sleepy eyes shot open.
"Why are we going to the police station?"
This was the first time William felt that it was hard to speak.
"Your dad...is now in the police station."
"What? Did something happen to him?"
She was not too surprised when she heard that Ronald was in the police station.
After witnessing his viciousness towards her the past few days, nothing surprised her anymore.
William reached out to help her put on her clothes and said, "Yes, something happened to your dad.Let's go and check it out."
"Are you hiding something from me?"
This was the first time he had tried to avoid her gaze.
"William, tell me the truth.No matter what happens, I can bear it."
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth.Julie and Ashley hired people to kidnap you, so I asked someone to keep an eye on Julie.Coincidentally, she met up with the person she was cheating on Ronald with, so I recorded their conversation and sent it to Ronald.Long story short, your dad did things to punish them after listening to the recording."
"Is that so? Was he arrested by the police because of this? This is not a big deal though, you didn't have to hide it from me like that..."
She continued, "Is there anything else you're hiding from me? Don't hide it anymore.I can bear it!"
In the face of her continuous questions, William was forced to tell the truth.
"Your dad punished Julie and Ashley, so Julie's paramour, Paxton, rushed over to save them.However, your dad turned himself in, and they all went to the police station for interrogation.Then, he confessed to everything and said that he did it to avenge your mother because Julie and Paxton killed her."
"What? How...how is this possible?"
Valeria said with her eyes wide opened.
She wavered and almost fell down.
William reached out to hug her and asked, "Valeria! Are you okay?"
"I'm not feeling well...I'm feeling a little dizzy.I feel quite uncomfortable, I..."
"I understand! Baby, take a deep breath!"
He gently rubbed her chest.
"Don't be afraid.I'll be with you no matter what happens!"
She gasped for breath and calmed down after his endless comforting.
"William, come on, let's go and have a look now.I must know if this is true or not! Maybe my dad is talking nonsense."
He put a coat on her and quickly pulled her out of the villa.
Bobby was already waiting for them by the car.
When he saw them coming out, he immediately opened the door.
William helped Valeria get on the car, and they drove straight to the police station.
On the way, she silently laid in his arms.
He did not say anything either.He was equally as shocked by the sudden situation.
Ronald claimed that Natalie was killed by Julie and Paxton.
Did he have evidence or was he talking nonsense? The possibility of him talking nonsense was not big.
She felt that Ronald had something to do with it, so she suppressed her anger and asked him in a hoarse voice, "Where is the evidence?"
"The evidence was destroyed by Paxton, but Kyrie can testify."
Ronald had already discussed the plan with Kyrie.
Paxton broke in before the police arrived, so Ronald pushed the blame on Paxton.It was useless for him to explain because Natalie’ s death did have something to do with Julie and Paxton.
"Really? Tell me honestly.Did you participate in plotting my mother's death?"
Valeria did not believe that he was innocent.
"It has nothing to do with me.How could I hurt your mother? I loved her so much..."
"You're lying! If you loved her, you wouldn't have had an affair after she fell sick! I suspect that you and Julie were behind this."
She did not believe him.
"I'm not! I swear!"
"If swearing was useful, why would we need the police?"
She sneered.
"Officers, I suspect that my father has participated in the murder of my mother.I hope you can find out the facts about this situation and give my mother an explanation"
William, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke up.
"This situation is really weird.I hope you can find out the truth.Isn't Paxton also part of it? Since Julie is badly injured, Paxton can help out with the investigation instead"
The policemen smiled and said, "Rest assured, Mr.Howard.We will interrogate Paxton carefully.As long as he did it, no matter how hard he is to interrogate, we will find out the truth!"
"That's good! Thank you for your hard work!"
"But I have something to tell Mr.Howard.Paxton has been using the Saunders family and Mrs.Howard to protect himself from interrogation.This matter..."
"No matter who he is, you must get the truth out of him.If something happens, I'll take responsibility!"
"Okay, your statement is a big relief for us!"
